Mi Second Casa - In Home

Our in-home program is warm, personal, and family-like. With a maximum of 12 children and three dedicated teachers, we maintain a 1:4 ratio across all ages, giving every child individualized attention and care.

Because our classroom is mixed-age, children learn from one another in natural and meaningful ways. Younger children are inspired by older peers, while preschoolers and toddlers practice leadership, patience, and empathy by guiding those younger than them. We also carve out time for preschoolers and toddlers to focus on age-appropriate activities with their teachers, ensuring every child’s development is supported.

Learning happens through play, exploration, and daily routines, with teachers weaving in Spanish throughout the day so children grow as confident bilingual learners. The home setting makes every child feel like part of an extended family, fostering independence, cooperation, and a strong sense of belonging.

Breakfast, lunch and snak are provided, with meals that are home-cooked, organic, and culturally rich, reflecting the flavors and values of our community. Pupusas are a favorite, but every meal includes fresh fruits, vegetables, and balanced ingredients that children enjoy.

Eating together feels like a family gathering. Children learn to try new foods, share in conversation, and practice independence while being nourished with meals that taste like home. We happily accommodate dietary restrictions and encourage healthy eating as part of our daily rhythm.

Children thrive on routine, and our schedule balances structure with flexibility. The day includes cozy circle times, creative indoor play, teacher-guided learning moments, and opportunities for free exploration.

Outdoor time is especially important in our in-home setting. Children take daily exploratory walks to nearby parks, where they observe nature, run, climb, and play. They also take field trips to places like the local grocery store, where everyday experiences become learning opportunities.

The pace of the day reflects the feel of a family home: unhurried, nurturing, and rich with opportunities to learn through daily life.

Family connections are at the heart of our in-home program. Parents communicate directly with teachers through WhatsApp, where they can share in their child’s day, interact with other families, and feel part of the close-knit community. Families also receive updates through Brightwheel with photos, logs, and daily notes about their child’s meals, sleep, and activities.

The small group size allows for genuine relationships not only between teachers and children but also among families. Parents often get to know each other personally, creating the sense of an extended family village raising children together.

Even with a home setting, movement is a daily priority. Children enjoy walks around the neighborhood and adventures to local parks, where they can climb, slide, run, and explore. The mixed-age group setting adds to the fun, as younger children build confidence alongside older ones and preschoolers practice leadership and cooperation.
